The laundry is no longer an afterthought

There’s been a significant trend building over the last couple of years, and that’s for homeowners that are renovating their kitchen to do over their laundry at the same time. And that makes a lot of sense as these two work areas are often physically close together. Additionally, they both require electrical and plumbing services and busy householders spend a fair chunk of time in each room – so they want them to look great and work efficiently.

As a trade professional, it makes sense for your kitchen design team to be comfortable with the possibilities for laundry projects too, and the team at Fit are here to help.

Just as Tanova’s wide range of kitchen bins provides a waste solution for every kitchen, their pull-out laundry baskets and hampers are ideal solutions for managing household laundry and laundry storage and utilising laundry cabinet space efficiently, while keeping washing neat and out of sight.

You know the Tanova team is constantly innovating, and they have been since they purchased that small Kiwi garage-based kitchen bin business back in 2007. In fact, the Tanova team think they had the very first pull out laundry unit on the market anywhere in the world; all the way back in 2012!

Tanova’s current laundry range mirrors the kitchen bin range in terms of structure:

• Designer Series with soft close 60kg runners, fixed front options for cabinets from 300mm to 800mm wide, models with plastic hampers and with powder coated steel baskets. New Zealand Made licenced.

• Designer Series 2 – complete with Simlead premium slimline drawer on soft close 70kg runners, fixed front options for cabinets from 350mm to 700mm, with plastic hampers. Some models include both push to open and soft close functions.

• Simplex Plus – cost effective fixed front options for 400mm and 450mm cabinets, on soft close 35kg runners. Choices with plastic hampers or powder coated steel baskets. New Zealand Made licenced.

• Simplex – mid range for cost. Models for cabinets from 300mm to 450mm including fixed front, handle front and drawer insert models. New Zealand Made licenced.

Your client doesn’t have a separate laundry room but is looking for thoughtful ways to make the household laundry tasks more manageable? Check the panel for some helpful hints.

No separate laundry room?

 Install the Tanova TBL45136W pull out laundry unit in each wardrobe or bathroom vanity. Needs just 370mm front to back and the plastic hamper is easy to remove and comfy to carry.

Build a cupboard-housed laundry appliance space into the kitchen or garage with the use of a Salice Eclipse pocket door, as seen in photos at left.

And best ‘added extra’ to suggest? Including a DOMUS Line ™ Goccia hanging rail profile with LED strip into the laundry design. Contact your Fit rep, phone 0800 852 258 or email sales@fit-nz.co.nz to discuss your laundry projects.
